The use of PP is allowed for the following purposes:

1) scientific (monitoring the state of the environment, studying the functioning and development of natural ecosystems and their components, etc.);

2) environmental education (conducting educational and cognitive excursions, organizing and arranging ecological training tracks, making video films, photographing for the purpose of issuing slides, booklets, etc.);

3) recreational (transit walks);

4) environmental protection (preservation of the gene pool of species of living organisms, provision of habitat for rare and endangered species of plants and animals, etc.);

5) other, including production, purposes, not contradicting the objectives of the announcement

These natural objects and complexes with nature monuments and the protection regime established in their respect.
